The argument against woman suffrage
which is based on physical strength is
one of the most absurd of the whole lot.
Logically carried out, it would disfran-
chise half the men in America, including
some of those who have been most in
fuential in shaping public affairs. 1t
would also enfranchise class OF wom-
en- who, as rule, would be least fitted
for the responsibilities of suffrage

A Frightened wife.

Yesterday evening Mrs. Enright, with
her little boy, appeared, at the police
station and said her husband, John En-.
right, had been fighting her, and she
showed her arms, which were covered
with bruises and scratches, as proof of
her assertions. She said she would not
20 back home and stay there for fear of
being killed. Officers Fowler and Loom.
is were sent out with Mrs. Enright to
the house on Booth street, two blocks
the other side Of Temple. When the
officers reached the house Enright was
found to be in bed asleep. He was
awakened and dressed and taken to the
City Prison without resistance, and Mrs.
Enright changed her mind and tried to
induce the officers to let him remain at
home. As the officers did not see any
violent behavior on the part of Enright,
the only charge placed against him was
ITO sober"

DAIRY MAIDS.
The Closing OF. the Festival Last
Night.

The Closing OF. the Festival Last
Night.
The Dairy Maids Festival closed last
night, and the tired ladies breathed a
sigh of relief when they departed from
the Pavilion, where they have labored
so hard and earnestly for the past ten
days. They undertook the arrangement
of an entertainment which amused and
attracted thousands of people, and that
it did SO was q proof OF its excellence.
1t is seldom that an entertainment Of
such character can fill large building
like the Pavilion every night for a
week, but the excellence of the pro.
gramme, including Shermans Illusions,
and the attentiveness of the young
ladies at the cottages, proved sufficient
drawing cards to do it in this case. One
thing which places this festival in
the highest rank was the reason
ableness of the prices for everything,
from admittance to Refreshments, so
that they were within the reach of all.
The receipts, while not so large as.those
of the fowel festival, were large
enough to give a handsome profit for
the benefit of the Congregational church.
The total receipts for the season foot up
in the neighborhood of $500, and of
this about one.half will be turned over
to the church. After the performance
last night the stools, ladies and other
articles manufactured by the ladies were
sold at auction and brought fair prices.
One stool sold for So 70, and the rest
brought from that price down to 81. so.
The ladies' sold for 81 downward. The
receipts at SYPHILIS Cave have been quite
large, and at the places where refresh
ments were served. The programme on
the stage last night was composed of
the best pieces and tableaux, which were
selected with great care, and those who
had the affair in charge have much
reason to feel proud of the success of
their labors.

A SAD ACCIDENT.
A LITTLE GIRL DROWNED IN BACK
RIVER
The Victim Anne Clark, Aged Six Years
The Efforts to RsSaScitats Her
Unavailing.

The third accidental death by drowning
in as many days occurred about one o'clock
yesterday afternoon, the victim being little
Annie Clark, the daughter of John Clark,
a sherman at the Etna mill, who lives at
No. So South Huron street. The little
girl, in company with her brother, was
playing in a skiff moored at the foot ofthe
steep bank at the west end OF Virginia
street, when by some means not very den
nitely known, she lost her balance and
fell into the water, which at that point Is
quiet deep but still. The mishap was seen
by Mrs. Bedall, who lives close to the
bank. but the lady was so frightened that
Tor a moment she was pOwerleSs to call for
assistance. Quickly recovering, however,
she made known what had occurred, and
in short time large crowd was attracted
TO the scene.
Among the first to arrive was Jesse
Rurkett, the well-knOwn skater. He lives
close by, and in an instant, after grasping
the situation, he was flying TO his home,
where he threw of his clothing and dOnned
a bathingsuit In few minutes he was
back at the scene of the accident, where a
number OF men were ut work endeayOring
to grapple for the body. Burkett plunged
into the water, which was very cold, and
dived repeatedly, until almost chilled, but
was unable To find the child. He was
urged by gentlemen with hun to be
careful, or he might go beneath the sur
face once two often, but young Burkett
resolved upon one more attempt, and this
time he came to the surface bearing the
child in his arms, Just forty minutes after
the accident, he being greeted witha hearty
round of applause by the large crowd upon
the bank rs he rose TO view. The
inauimate body of the child was quickly
taken in charge and carried into the resi-
dence OF Mrs Meyers, on Virginia
street, while messengers were sent
for Doctors Myers and Todd. Both
these gentlemen quickly arrived
ON the scene, and aided by half
dozen others, they spent an hour and q
half in unayailing efforts to restore the
child to life. An electric battery, hot
baths, and all the manipulatiOns known
to medical skill were resOrted to, but al
though mt times there were some signs Of
returning life, the utmost endeayOrs OF the
physicians finally failed of their purpose.
The efforts OF the physicians were awaited
by large number OF people, without the
house, and the final announcement OF
failure was received with every manifesto
ton of sorrow by those present.
The prompt, persistent and courageous
action of Jesse Burkett in recovering the
body of the little girl at such great per
sonal risk to himself, was heartily COM
mended yesterday by every one familiar
with the facts His conduct was in marked
contrast to that Of others, and his friends
have every reason to be proud of him.

A DROWNED MAN
Found in the River at the Foot of Thirty
First street.

Found in the River at the Foot of Thirty
First street.
Between two and three o'clock yesterday
afternoon, while Coroner Schultze was on
his way to the foot of Twenty-Grst street,
to view the body Of the infant found there,
mention of which is made elsewhere, he
mistook the directions given him and
struck the river at the foot Of Thirty-frst
street. There he found a small crowd
gathered about the body OF tiOater, which
had lust been brought ashore. The body
was that of a man about ; feet ) inches
high and weighing 100 or l65 pounds.
The face had two weeks growth OF
whlskerS Of dark reddish color, good teeth,
short black hair on head, and dark brown
eyes. The body was attired in muslin
drawers, and blue overall suit, and there
was one boot and one shoe on the feet. 1t
had the appearance of having been IN the
water about two weeks, but from the fact
that the skin o. one hand was hanging in
shreds, rs though from u sCaid, and bruises
ON the face, Coroner SChultZe thought 1t
might be Elias Boley, the man drowned of
the steamer Elaine, Friday, and accord
ingly telegraphed to Anthony BOley, at
st. Mary's, vino will probably be up to-
day. The body was taken To MendeI's un-
dertakiug rooms, where it was prepared toT
burial.
